The discovery of a Higgs boson () was announced in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS
Collaborations [1]}, [2]}, [3]} based on proton-proton () collision data
collected at the CERN LHC at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8. Since its discovery, an extensive
campaign of measurements [4]} has been underway to characterize the new particle and
test its properties against those predicted by the standard model (SM) of particle
physics.
By comparing measured cross sections with predictions, as functions of the kinematic properties of the diphoton system and of the particles produced in association with the Higgs boson, it is possible to investigate the dynamics of Higgs boson production, decay, and accompanying jet activity.
